    Good luck? The man is a fucking murderer. I don't care if he's fucking Linux God and able to write programs just by looking at them, he's a despicable human being and deserves no luck at this point.

    It makes me sad too, it makes me sad that he did it, it makes me sad that he thought he could get away with it, it makes me sad that he actually used the "I'm too smart to know what I did" defense

    You don't sound sad.

    I do find it worrisome that several jurors basically said that they convicted him because they didn't like him.

    Gut feelings, intuition, aren't just random whimsies, they can be your subconscious' way of communicating its' analysis of anothers' subconscious body language and uncontrollable facial subtleties.

    There are two archetypes of nerds, which oddly parallel serial killer archetypes: disorganized and spontaneously creative vs organized and methodically calculating.

    The M.O. he demonstrated in the crime indicates the disorganized type.

    If he were the methodical type, his crime might not have even been noticed.

    There's nothing serial about killing your wife because she cheated on you with your best friend.

    spend some money on recycling tech.

    I think you've just hit the very reason wy it hasn't been done: Too few people want to make the effort, and no one wants to foot the bill.

    As you say, separating kinds of trash before burying it would be a great investment for the future, but making an effort or spending money now for something that will be beneficial in the future doesn't get anyone elected. Promises to give you tax refunds checks NOW gets votes.

    the only way to get that bill passed for the future (with a President who's sworn to veto anything w/o the provision and a Republican party with enough votes to prevent that veto from being overridden) is to forgive what happened in the past.

    Frankly, with all the rancor on both sides, this country needs a little forgiveness

    So the message is: Your masters can get away with anything.

    No wonder Cheney can hunt the most dangerous game with impunity, he knows damn well that even if he shoots people in the face, there's nothing the People will do about it. That would mean the "left" would "won"! Can't have that!

    When taking a urine sample for example, one of the things the tester does immediately is check the temperature of the sample. This helps prevent people from bringing in a medicine bottle etc with a 'clean' sample to drop in the cup.

    And since no one would ever hide said bottle under their clothes, where the content would reach body temperature, the system is flawless!
